To improve relations with its National Assembly members, the leadership of the Labour Party (LP) formed a three-member Intervention and Truce Committee.

In a statement released Tuesday in Abuja, Mr. Obiora Ifoh, the party’s national publicity secretary, said the action was a part of continuous efforts to create lasting unity inside the party.

He claims that Mathew Nworgu and Chinedu Obika are members of the committee, which is led by Ben Etanabene.

According to him, the committee was officially launched on Monday at the LP National Headquarters in Abuja by Mr. Julius Abure, the party’s national chairman.

In order to find and address any disagreements between the LP and the party, Abure asked the committee to communicate with the lawmakers in both houses of the national legislature.

“We entrust you with this important assignment of bringing together all our members in the national assembly, both in the Senate and House of Representatives.

“This is for the purpose of bridging the gaps and resolving all issues that may have existed.

“There is need for all our members, about 40 of you, to be on the same page with the party leadership.

“You are our ambassadors at the national assembly and we are proud of some of you and the values you have exhibited.

“But we think there are still some gaps that needed to be plugged, hence the urgency for this assignment,’’ Abure said.

According to him, the party anticipated that the committee will complete its work and submit a report to the party’s leadership in two weeks.

“We can assure you that the party will do all it can to ensure that enduring truce is achieved within the party and particularly with a key stakeholder such as the NASS caucus,” he said.

Etanabene responded by promising that the committee will take the task seriously and that they would do so.
